Playing Media with ALLPlayer.This guide is provided to help you play back your audio and video files with ALLPlayer.

(I will be using the "Standard" skin for this guide, but you should find most or all of the icons I use on other skins also.)

File Type AssociationThe easiest way to use ALLPlayer to play back files is to associate the appropriate file extension (.avi, .mp3, .mkv, etc) with ALLPlayer. This will enable you to play back any associated file by simply double clicking the media file. You are prompted during installation to associate all media types with ALLPlayer automatically, but if you did not, you can manage which file types ALLPlayer is associated with in the ALLPlayer Toolbar. You may also right-click any media file and choose Open With... from the context menu. This will allow you to open your file with ALLPlayer either once, or to make it the default application for that file type.

Open the "ALLPlayer Toolbar" window by clicking on the tools icon in the black portion of the standard interface. It is located on the right side between the X icon and the enlarge/reduce icon, and looks like a hammer and wrench crossed over each other.

Once the ALLPlayer Toolbar window appears, click the "Settings" selection in the left hand menu to show the Settings options sub-menu.

Click "Files extension" to show the "File Formats" screen.

On this screen you can select which file extensions you wish to have associated with ALLPlayer, as well as whether you would like ALLPlayer to be your default DVD playback software.

If your skin has a FlowList button, you may use it to open the FlowList visual browser. If not, FlowList can be accessed at any time during playback by clicking the FlowList button in the lower right corner of the playback on-screen controls.

Use the FlowList visual browser to locate the media you wish to load and click the icon associated with it.
